Getting Started! (Left4Dead2)

Stuff you will need to get the game working ONLINE!
The part where "Hamachi" is needed/used works for other games too. (Games that have been tested with "Hamachi") For example: Minecraft and Red Alert 3.


Step 1)Make sure you have the game L4D2 in your pc, it must be working and running on the "Left 4 dead 2" (Version 2.0.2.7)

If you do not have the game please check out this link to download the game via the links below.

L4D2 Main link- http://d-h.st/WJh



(This download is only 2gb because of the size compression, but after extraction and running the setup.bat it will become 8gb)




To check what is the game version of your L4D2, simply launch the game and at the main screen. Press this button ~  (Which is located below the esc button) After that a console screen will appear. Now type "version" and then press enter. The console screen should now display your current game version .




If it is indeed working and running on the correct version, you may skip this following sentence. Otherwise, check out this link below to get your game version updated.







_________________________________________________________________________________




Step 2)Download the "Hamachi" software from the link below.


(Please download the latest version that is available)


Now after installing "Hamachi"
Run it, and it should ask you what name would you like to use as your "Hamachi ID".
just type in whatever you like.

After that click on "Network" then "join an existing network"
and type in "Left 4D 2" for the network ID, and "12345bca" for the password.

If it says Left 4D 2 server is full then try another server below.

Left 4D 2 (SVR1)
Left 4D 2 (SVR2)
Left 4D 2 (SVR3)
Left 4D 2 (SVR4)
Left 4D 2 (SVR5)
Left 4D 2 (SVR6)
Left 4D 2 (SVR7)
Left 4D 2 (SVR8)
Left 4D 2 (SVR9)
Left 4D 2 (SVR10)


NOTE:The password "12345bca" works for all the servers.

(More servers will be added in the future! Thanks for playing with us! :-)  )




_________________________________________________________________________________




Step 3)In order for other players to join a/your game, The host has to either add the Left 4 dead 2 game to the computer firewall exception list or simply just turn off their firewall. 

(Only the Host of the game need to do go through step 3 and 4)





_________________________________________________________________________________





Step 4) Create a game by pressing ~ in your game main screen. After that type in "sv_lan(press space)0" then hit enter.
Next type "sv_allow_lobby_connect_only(press space)0" and then enter again. 



Lastly, time to choose the map that you want to host.

type map(press space)"Map name that you choose and then (press space) and type coop or versus. Pick either/only one, coop means coperative. Which means you get to play as a team with your friend on the human side. If you choose versus, then they will be human players on both teams. Both human and zombie team.

To see what are the available maps type in "maps *"


Example of how you should type:

sv_lan 0
sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0
map c3m3_shantytown coop 


(And the game will now start automaticlly)




(Only the Host of the game need to do go through step 3 and 4)




_________________________________________________________________________________





Step 5)To connect to a host server press ~ 
and then type connect(press space) and now type the Hamachi IP address of the host server that you want to connect to.

For example just type:

connect 27.92.23.174



(And the game will now start and attempt to connect to the host server)



THATS ALL.. Any difficulty with the above steps please post a comment below!

  1. Hi.

    I recently bought Red Alert 3 on my Mac from mac game store to play with my friends who have PC's. Since server is going down, I shifted to Hamachi. I followed your guide, however when I get into network settings in the game, I cant see my Hamachi IP. Please help. Will appreciate.

  5. Free online games can be played alone, against other people, or playing as teams against a computer. There are other online games that pit you against other players in other places of the planet. https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Gnation
